Cool defined

* "Cool is a knowledge, a way of life."[46] – Lewis MacAdams
* "Cool is an age-specific phenomenon, defined as the central behavioural trait of teenagerhood."[47]
* "Coolness is the proper way you represent yourself to a human being."[48] – Robert Farris Thompson
* In the novel Spook Country by William Gibson one character equates cool with a sense of exclusivity: "Secrets," said the Bigend beside her, "are the very root of cool."[49]
* In the novel Lords and Ladies by Terry Pratchett the Monks of Cool are mentioned. In their passing-out test a novice must select the coolest garment from a room full of clothes. The correct answer is "Hey, whatever I select", suggesting that cool is primarily an attitude of self-assurance.[50]
